PASSIONATE PURSUIT...CHASING AFTER HIM

PSALM 69
SAVE ME O’ GOD, FOR THE WATERS ARE COME INTO MY SOUL
I SINK IN DEEP MIRE, WHERE THERE IS NO STANDING: IAM COMING INTO DEEP WATERS, WHERE THE FLOODS OVERFLOW ME.
I AM WEARY OF MY CRYING: MY THROAT IS DRIED: MINE EYES FAIL WHILE I WAIT FOR MY GOD.
THEY THAT HATE ME WITHOUT CAUSE ARE MORE THAN THE HAIRS OF MINE HEAD: THEY THAT WOULD DESTROY ME, BEING MINE ENEMIES WRONGFULLY, ARE MIGHTY: THEN I RESTORED THAT WHICH I TOOK NOT AWAY.
O GOD, THOU KNOWEST MY FOOLISHNESS; AND MY SINS ARE NOT HID FROM THEE.
LET NOT THEM THAT WAIT ON THEE, O ‘ LORD GOD OF HOSTS, BE ASHAMED FOR MY SAKE. LET NOT THOSE THAT SEEK THEE BE CONFOUNDED FOR MY SAKE, O GOD OF ISRAEL.
BECAUSE FOR THY SAKE I HAVE BORNE REPROACH; SHAME HATH COVERED MY FACE.
I HAVE BECOME A STRANGER UNTO MY BRETHREN, AND AN ALIEN UNTO MY MOTHER’ S CHILDREN.
FOR THE ZEAL OF THINE HOUSE HATH EATEN ME UP; AND THE REPROACHES OF THEM THAT REPROACHED THEE ARE FALLEN UPON ME.’WHEN I WEPT, AND CHASTENED MY SOUL WITH FASTING, THAT WAS TO MY REPROACH.
To the persecuted church. To the crushed ones who have surrendered to the truth and refuse to give in the falsehood; know that the Lord Jesus is with you. He has not brought waters upon you to overtake you, but that He may be glorified and bring you to higher heights and deeper depths in him. The Lord hears our humble cries and has been touched with all of our weaknesses. Oh how we desire to do the Lord’s will and truly the zeal of thine house has eaten us up.
The Lord is a refuge, a very present help in the time of trouble. We must call upon the name of the Lord while he is yet near. Be faithful over a few things and he will make your ruler over many. Meaning, be faithful over the natural things, but most importantly over the spiritual gifts. Some if us may feel like we are not carrying a whole sack of gifts  from above. Yet the gifts that we have been given have made room. Therefore, we must allow the Lord to stir us up in the one gift and maximize the ability to pour upon others and allow the Lord to shape you and perfect you in that one thing. With obedience you’ll find he has enlarged your territory and magnified himself in the midst of it. These gifts and talents are pressed down, shaken together, and then they run over. The crushing in the midst of circumstance reveals the heart and the fruit therein. That’s why the Lord says to store up in the last days and to seek those things which be above. Store up the patience, long suffering, gentleness, self-control etc. Hide his word in thy heart that you may not sin against him. Be reminded of the scripture in the book of Revelation the he knows our work, tribulation, and poverty (Rev2:9) Hold fast to the testimony of Jesus Christ until the end. Those who endure unto the end shall be saved. #fruitsthatremain #trust
